reamer Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have a template in the works to cut the side plates for the brush guard, Local steel shop can supply 2.5" tube, so when pricing a "new guard, they want $350 for the guard and another $350 shipping. I'm thinking I can cut the sides, and mount tabs and you can get your own tubes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Cool! You'll have quite the Bullnose industry going. Can you also indicate where the tubes go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Wulff Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Plasma Nice! Having the side plates will allow guys to use whatever kind of tubing and/or expanded metal that meets their own needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reamer Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Nice! Having the side plates will allow guys to use whatever kind of tubing and/or expanded metal that meets their own needs. I can supply anyone the side plates and 4 of the bolt-tabs (2 to mount guard to bumper bolt locations and 2 for lights). Shipping them flat, you can save a crapload over an assembled guard. Flap-disk sanded and "rough" install of side plates, WOW! they Fit! Will cut some tubes this afternoon.... only had enough stock for one tube today....

Gary Lewis Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 You are making it happen and ought to be proud of your accomplishments! Indeed he should. Ron - I have an original Ford-branded brush guard. Would it be helpful for me to measure where the tubes are attached and the sizes of the tubes? That way someone could replicate the original brush guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, I no longer have the one that was on Darth, but should have some pictures. I know it was hefty enough that when a jerk from New Jersey cut in front of me when I was towing the 5th wheel then slammed on his brakes due to traffic it bent the back bumper on his Chevy 2500 under nearly 90° and the only damage I had was a small nick in the rubber pad on one side.
